I actually hadn't finished by rebuttal but i'll sum up my points more concisely:


 * I'll agree to use Secretary based on the usage of it in the artbook. That should of been the argument, not the capitalization and frequency of use.
 * The capitalization has no actual bearing on it because technically speaking, you shouldn't/don't have to capitalize it in Arius's context, though i can see why names are capitalized anyway. But demon (it has been capitalized and then not), human, demon-human hybrid aren't capitalized and those are races too. The only reason I can see they did it is because lesser demons like "Shadow", and "Secretary" can get mixed up with it's real world terms and you would then have to always say "shadow demon" and "secretary demon". But that doesn't make it correct grammatically. And not even this series' always follows that.
 * Frequency of use on it's own (at least in this context) is a bad argument too and is actually considered a logical fallacy of availability bias I believe. A similar case has been Nero and his relation to Vergil on this wiki. It does not actually take multiple cases of stating one thing for it to be true. Matt Walker's tweet of the changing timeline didn't need to be stated on more than one occasion to be taken as unequivocally true.
 * That's why I say it's best to look at things "case-by-case". Your capitalization argument would not make sense if applied all else. And we've already seen what happen with the frequency of use (if that is a deciding factor) argument where we doubt official sources simply because it's in another language and we don't like the information. BUT then imagine applying it to Matt Walker saying the DMC timeline has changed even when we have at least 3 sources with a already established timeline. It would make sense to take it true since he's more recent and is revealing information for a sequel.


 * I'm going to eternally disagree with you on the strategy guide because that STILL requires permission and actual information on other strategy guides beyond DMC2 have lined up fairly consistently with information from artbooks and other sources. But that's settled.
 * Lastly, DMC2's strategy guide setting name between "Vindu Mali" and "Vie De Mali" is not incompetence. I really don't mean to say this insultingly but learn a different language deeply and you'll likely understand how silly it is to think that the two difference in translation is a example of incompetence. Translation will vary and even DMC is subject to this a lot. Be it Nero and Nelo Angelo, Lowell and Rowell, and Guardian and Protectors. And those are just small examples.

I'm sorry if it comes off more antagonistic and I am glad you weighed in on your options, Meshifurai (all editors are welcome to comment by the way. You have a right to speak here).
